The glow is fast fading...

Senator Menedez is not happy with language he discovered in the spending bill that changes the United States policy towards Cuba;


The Menendez rebellion was a jolt of political reality
for Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Obama, signaling
that the solidarity of the stimulus debate is fading as Democratic
lawmakers are starting to read the fine print of the bills they will
wrestle with in the coming weeks and months, and not always liking what
they see..

Menendez knew that his hard-line approach to Cuba was a minority
view within his party, and that it was at odds with Obama’s approach.
But he did not expect to discover a significant policy change embedded
in the text on an appropriations bill. His policy aides came across the
language when the legislation was posted on a congressional Web site.


“The process by which these changes have been forced upon this body
is so deeply offensive to me, and so deeply undemocratic, that it puts
the omnibus appropriations package in jeopardy, in spite of all the
other tremendously important funding that this bill would provide,” the
enraged son of Cuban immigrants said last week on the Senate floor.
Menendez even slapped a hold on a pair of Obama nominees to draw
attention to the issue.

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
